Okay, can someone explain how VM got the idea to look into who the shareholders of Bunches of Fun Corp were? I missed that part somehow.
Meg had mentioned that her parents were being sued by Bunches o’ Fun. Then later they figured out which students benefitted from the failed drug tests by moving up into starting positions or whatever in their sports when the kids ahead of them were disqualified. They searched the parents’ names all together and came up with Bunches o’ Fun.
that wasn’t Meg, Meg wouldn’t have spent that much time talking to Veronica - in fact she implied Veronica was behind it. It was Jilly who said her parents were being sued because of a leaky roof at a vacation resort
I thought of something else. Lilly’s ghost was not there to lure Veronica around the corner to patch things up with Weevil. It was there to delay her from boarding the bus so she wouldn’t be in the accident. Good ghosts are more likely to save a life than to patch a friendship
Just to add to the detail on the Boatloads of Fun (I think that’s what it was called) plot…
Veronica asked each of the five people suspended from sports if they have any enemies or people who’d want to get them into trouble. Well, or at least we see her ask it of Wallace, Meg, and Kelvin the football player, and from what we see of what the other two people say, apparently she asked it of them too. Wallace says “the Klan”, Meg sarcastically blames Veronica herself, and Kelvin mentions Butters, who turns out to be a false lead.
Of the other two, Jilly the Asian girl volleyball player mentions Boatloads of Fun as a company that’s sueing her dad over a leaky roof. And she mentions that it’s made up of parents of some of the kids in school. I think she says something like it’s the parents of “Steve Wacker and that crowd”. And the Asian guy tennis player (I’ve forgotten his name) mentions some kid who he beat out in terms of position on the tennis team, and whose parents went to ridiculious lengths to protest that.
So, after the whole Butters thing goes nowhere, Veronica checks to see who’d be taking the places of each suspended kid, and the person replacing Kelvin as a starting linebacker is none other than Steve Wacker, mentioned above (but who we never see). So, I guess after having his name turn up in connection to two of the suspended kids, she gets the idea to find the name of the partners in the private company his parents are a part of.
Oh, and I wanted to reply to this earlier and forgot…
Heh, I think that’d be more confusing than not having seen any of the episodes. Some of the characters’ situations really change between the 1st episode of season one and this season. Veronica goes from being a complete outcast, outsider type character to a more ambigious position where she’s kinda in both camps but not really a member of either. And Logan goes from asshole enemy to romantic interest (and possibly back again). Those are the two most extreme, I think. But yeah, obviously the rest of season one covers what happens.
Yeah, you’re right. I remembered Veronica talking to Meg briefly and I mushed the Boatloads o’ Fun conversation together with that in my brain. I shouldn’t try to explain things when I’ve just rolled out of bed.
I’ve just started watching recently and who are the 09ers? I gathered that they are the rich kid crowd, but why are they called that?
Also I keep forgetting which one’s Logan and which one is Duncan. Duncan’s the one that Veronica thought may have been her brother but not really, and her current boyfriend, and Logan is the son of the murdering actor guy right?
last two digits of the zip code of the wealthier section of town
don’t know if the “other side of the tracks” is “08” or “10” tho
Yes, that’s right.
The 09ers are the rich kids, whi live in a zip code that ends with -09 (think Beverly Hills, 90210). Veronica explained it early on that Neptune is basically made up of 09ers and people whose families work for the 09ers, so there’s a noticeable class division in town.
I finally got to see it, despite the collusion of TiVo, ABC, and UPN who wanted to prevent it.
I’m so glad she’s back with Duncan. He’s a little insane, but Logan is a lottle insane. Besides, now that they aren’t related, mebbe Duncan will calm down a little!
I never quite bought that. Don’t rich kids go to private school?
Not always. I went to public schools with plenty of wealthy people. The public schools tend to be pretty nice where the rich folks live, because they still pump a lot of money into the school (beyond their property taxes) and usually have plenty of pull with the school board.
